TCM Posters




These are three movie posters designed as part of a project set by TCM. The films for the posters were given by TCM and although all three films are completely different, the posters had to have a common theme running through them to act as a set.
I am pleased with the simplistic outcome. Comments welcome as always.

Coca Cola V Pepsi

Coke vs Pepsi Creative Straw Printed Ad

And the winner is....


For me it will always be Coca Cola. It seems there has always been a silent war between these two top brands. Why do some people choose Coca Cola over Pepsi and vice versa? Is it design or taste? Does one have more appeal than the other? Or do people simply just go for what is on offer in the supermarket at the time?
This advert is Pepsi obviously implying that Pepsi is the better choice. Just by the colours of the can, we can identify that the 1st can is to represent Coca Cola. 
For me, Coca Cola will always have the upper hand when it comes to design and taste. Coca Cola is the original cola; Pepsi mirrored themselves after Coke. Pepsi took years to get their identity right, Coca Cola was almost instant; their logo hardly changed since 1886. 
Whatever your preference, the two are more than just beverages, they are a brand.

Semester 2... New Project

So, Semester 1 is officially over, all work completed and handed in. Nothing more can be done now, even if it could have done with it.
A slight sense of relief that its done and dusted but as always, I think I could have done better.
And it all starts again... Semester 2... New project.
I received my Collaborative Project brief on Tuesday, an interesting brief, should be good. I now need to decide who to collaborate with, I have an idea, but I'm not completely sure at this stage. 
Only time will tell. 
And of course there's the Dissertation, but I'll leave that to talk about another time.
